Follow-up at the vet hospital after wearing the brace for 2 weeks

It's been 2 weeks since Leo started wearing his brace.

Sunday, July 17, just 11 days after first getting the brace, he managed to get out of it in front of our eyes while he was completely strapped into it. What a dog. We were on our way out so fortunately we caught him but unfortunately for him he ended up in the kennel for the day but without his brace.

Yesterday, Rogers was coming so I worked from home and kept an eye on him. It just seems that as one part heals another part starts getting sores. His toes are red and something is irritating him. He goes, goes, goes but then he'll lay down and start chewing on his toes. They are under a velcro strap screwed on with metal so it's a bit difficult but sometimes, eventually, he can disengage from his brace. His lower leg is completely wet and slimy.

In any case, he is off to the vet tomorrow. The surgeon called Monday (back from vacation) so I figure I should get this done with. Also, he is probably ready for a revised brace - in the toe area but not in the hip area. We think he would most definitely get out of the brace if Janice were to chop off the top! ::sigh::
